I’m a Jewish, anti-Netanyahu/Likud but for Israel to exist & for Palestinians to be free from Hamas, pro-LGBTQ+ rights, Black community supporter, anti-Christian Nationalism, fuck ICE, anti-AI art, American feminist.
I’m also a kid at heart who draws cartoons.

Unfollow me if you hate any of that.

Weird artistic choice if you’re right.

It’s sad that bias is so strong that it closes their minds.

The whole Gorman plot was blatant, ham-fisted Nazi propaganda against Jews in space!
Star Wars is antifascist. I’m not sure where Marxism fits in except when there was a bit of anti capitalism in the sequel movies.

Mine told me no more cats for now & Mothman was making him change his mind! The owner said we live too far away as they do post-adoption checks to make sure it’s working out.

Oof. Way off.
Her wiki says her dad was an electrician, she is the 7th of 11 siblings, was homeless for a while, & even used alcohol & drugs to block out grooming & r*pe in her early teen years.

I wonder if seeing any of the Hamas footage from Oct 7 would have changed her perspective. 😞

Does she not know about the Palestinian Authority in the West Bank? Why there’s a wall along a road there?

That’s the actress who played Imperial Security Bureau supervisor & antagonist Dedra Meero on Andor.
So, yeah, she played a space Nazi who was loyal to the Empire & its ideology & was obsessed with control.
But she doesn’t see how Hamas’ ideology that isn’t about peace but about control?

So, if anyone sees this & wants to meet adorable, rambunctious, sweet kittens & cats available for adoption & they live in Rochester, NY or within driving distance (Buffalo, Syracuse, etc.), please check out Pawsitive Cat Café!
(I recommend meeting Mothman as well.)

A black cat in a red collar named Mothman.
He was quite chill the whole hour we were there, curled up on a short cat tree, enjoying my husband petting him.

I caught the brothers being cute together by the merch displays.
Not pictured: Their sister, Crumpet.
(All 3 are bonded. Again, I couldn’t adopt them because we don’t live near enough. 😭)

I went fishing for kitties & got a clowder of voids!
Serena (orange collar), Guinness (black & white collar), Toffee (pink collar - Guinness’ brother), & Sasquatch (no collar)!
All adoptable & we live too far away to be eligible to adopt them!

Later, Stanley climbed up a wooden structure on a wall & watched everyone else from not-hidden perch (he looks indignant 😂) & Bubbles used my purse as a spot to hide behind before pouncing on another toy.
Bubbles looks like my Toby did when he was a kitten but she was quieter than he was.

I promise: you are not "betraying" or "abandoning" someone by refusing to take on responsibility for their emotional regulation.

You're setting a boundary that is compassionate & realistic-- for both of you.

> I believe I would not be capable in a high stress, scary situation to handle a gun & do not have the skills to use a gun against a wild animal or a threatening human in self defense.

I told my husband that if he wants to have a gun in the house to store it in a combination lock safe separate from the ammo & to put them in good, separate hiding spots, & never tell me or the kids that these things exist in our house.
It is for emergency situations only that he can get to.>

1 - Store the piece empty & separate from the ammo. Both in combination safe storage, not lock & key.
2 - If you see a gun, always assume it is loaded & treat it as such by never putting your fingers near the trigger & never point it at anyone.

Stuff like this. Common sense? I wish it was.

My husband’s uncle who uses guns visited us in IN once. I told him how guns scare me, so he was kind to explain basic gun safety to me using a pistol so I wouldn’t be.
He said that idiots who don’t follow safety protocols don’t deserve to own any gun & there are a lot of idiots!

It takes a lot of skill to shoot 1 or 2 bullets to take down a deer.
Hell, it takes patience to just sit in the woods covered in deer urine just waiting for a deer to show up! If that makes a guy happy, all I ask is that he showers before being anywhere near me!

Kosherart @kosherart.bsky.social · 4h

This is why when gun regulations & shit come up I’m all cool with hunting license guns but not automatic type guns that shoot a barrage of bullets. The latter would just disintegrate a rabbit or render a deer unusable.
Skilled hunters know the right tools for what is hunted & care about safety.

I had a science teacher in junior high who was a hunter. He’d use the meat & then taxidermize (?) the animal.
Now, he was an great teacher & I learned a lot of biology because of him, but I will NEVER get over seeing him do taxidermy on a weasel up close so don’t expect me to even pluck a chicken! 😖

I agree with you.
Hunting for sport, like poaching & trophy, is awful but some hunting is necessary to keep certain animal populations from being too much (see: deer in PA) & there are hunters who know how to use the majority of the animal — skin, antlers, bones, meat, etc. — for survival reasons.
